The film is part of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images - 6th edition
Untitled (head falling 01) is part of a series of five short animated pieces conceived as loops, in which the first frame overlaps with the last one. Five nodding-offs; five heads shown in the moment of falling asleep and waking up again. The films are made by painting directly onto 16mm clear leader with fabric and permanent ink, then scratched with engraving needles.
